Abstract: Method for controlling a linear pump (9) of a vapour recovery system in a fuel dispensing unit (1). The linear pump (9) is flow controlled by a signal. The method comprises applying (SI) a known voltage to a solenoid coil (10) of the linear pump (9) for a predetermined time period, measuring (S2) a current consumption of the solenoid coil (10) during the predetermined time period, and adjusting (S3) the signal based on the measured current consumption. The invention also relates to a vapour recovery system for recovering vapour from a motor vehicle tank via a fuel dispensing nozzle (7) to a vapour tank.

Abstract: A vacuum vapor liquid recovery system employs a strong vacuum vessel that can withstand vacuums without damage. The vacuum vessel may be portable and configured to accept an inflow drain line for receiving waste liquid/vapors from a processing system. Additionally, at least one outflow drain line is attached to the vacuum vessel to which a vacuum truck or other similar recovery equipment can be connected in order to pump out whatever liquids/vapors have been drained into the vacuum vapor liquid recovery system. Additional features can include wheels to assist in moving and positioning the vacuum vapor liquid recovery system, tow bar, transport handles, support legs, sight port, a wash out connector, a vacuum relief, etc.

Abstract: An attitude sensing arrangement for triggering a shutoff mechanism on a fuel dispensing nozzle comprising a rolling element placed inside a non-cylindrical chamber that is sealed with a plug such that the rolling element may move freely inside the chamber. A vacuum sensing path passes from a sensing port in the nozzle spout, through a vacuum sensing tube, into the non-cylindrical chamber, and into a venturi-generated vacuum chamber. The attitude sensing arrangement is configured such that the rolling element blocks a shutoff port in the non-cylindrical chamber when the nozzle is raised past a certain shutoff angle. When the vacuum sensing path is blocked by the rolling element in this manner, the shutoff mechanism closes the main fuel valve.

Abstract: A liquid delivery system for supplying liquid from a portable container to a destination and removing vapor from the destination comprises a portable container, an elongate flexible liquid delivery hose, and an elongate flexible vapor recovery hose. The liquid delivery hose receives liquid from the portable container, and delivers the received liquid to a remote destination. The vapor recovery hose receives vapor from the remote destination, and delivers the received vapor to the substantially hollow interior of the portable container. The liquid delivery hose and the vapor recovery hose permit the movement of the liquid outlet of the liquid delivery hose to more than one selected remote destination while the container remains substantially stationary. Reduced air pressure in the portable container resulting from the removal of the liquid therefrom, causes vapor to be suctioned via the vapor recovery hose into the portable container.

Abstract: This storage facility (I) comprises at least one light fuel tank (C1, C2, C3) and at least one heavy fuel tank (C4), each one of the tanks being equipped with a vent pipe (12, 22, 32, 42). All of the vent pipes open into the same collector (14) intended to communicate these pipes with one another and to be connected to a tank (10) of a delivery vehicle. Furthermore, whether respectively associated with a light fuel tank or a heavy fuel tank, the vent pipes are provided with means (13, 23, 33, 43) for condensing the vent gases flowing through these pipes, the condensates from these condensation means being discharged into the or at least one of the light fuel tanks. It is thus possible to minimize the discharge of light fuel vapors from the facility, whether into the atmosphere or into the tank of the delivery vehicle.

Abstract: A passive method for conserving fuel vapor by connecting the ullage space of the liquid fuel storage tanks to a bladder in a vapor conservation tank; connecting the ullage space of a liquid fuel delivery vehicle to air space of the vapor conservation tank, external of the bladder; delivering liquid fuel from the delivery vehicle into the liquid fuel storage tanks, the liquid fuel displacing fuel vapor from the storage tanks; delivering displaced fuel vapor into the bladder, the delivered fuel vapor inflating the bladder and displacing air from the air space of the vapor conservation tank, external of the bladder; and, thereafter, over time, delivering fuel vapor from the bladder into ullage space of the fuel storage tanks, replacing the volume of liquid fuel delivered from the fuel storage tanks into vehicle fuel tanks. A passive system for conserving fuel vapor is also described.
